This game has turned into something I never thought it would be, not just in south america. Here in Toronto, I live about 5 minutes away from "club uruguay". It is a fanatical club for Penarol and the national team. This club has is about as big as a regular mcdonalds but gets about 1,000 people every day. It was Canada's only place to see the copa america. They get people from all countries to see the south american games.
Most recently, about 100 brazillians came to see palmerias and penarol, that turned ugly. They started throwing chairs and bottles saying that uruguay sucked and stuff. This has made this game even more important! They are expecting 2.000 people to see this game in front of 1 tv as they are opening an area to see the game from outside.
This game is very important to the uruguayan comunity in toronto. Even in uruguay, especially to the black uruguayns who hundreds of years ago were slaved in brazil. This is a very important game, more than a qualifier!
